Hi Guys,

I'm CG from NeoSmart Technologies, the author of EasyBCD. Thanks for posting this news release here - we've barely posted the update!

You can read more about EasyBCD 2.0 and its (IMHO

) cool new features here:

Complete Windows 7 support (including the pretty-boot screen!)
Total redesign of the user interface to make the stuff you use more often easier to get to and easier to understand
Automatic configuration and one-click setup of Windows XP dual-boots. No more mucking around w/ boot.ini and NTDETECT + NTLDR
Support for multiple top-level Windows XP entries. You no longer need to go through a second NTLDR menu no matter how many XPs you have installed!
Support for GRUB2 and ext4fs (we're looking at you, Ubuntu *glare*)
Boot from ISO images and Virtual Harddisk (vhd) files!
Create bootable USB drives!
Change the boot drive on your system (including all the partition management stuff) with one click!
Rewritten OS X support (yes, again *sigh*)
EasyBCD BIOS Extender to let you boot from network devices, specific hard disks, USBs, and more even if your BIOS doesn't support it (thanks to PLoP integration)
Support for multiple top-level GRLDR entries (in the same vein as XP entries above)
Improved boot device detection, EasyBCD always runs, even if your boot device is inaccessible or the BCD isn't installed!
Loading indicator for lengthy operations
Better support for loading and managing external BCD stores
Complete EasyBCD portability. Just tell the installer where to stick it, and you're set!
Improved high DPI support
Ability to create safe-mode entries
Improved MBR repair, BCD repair, and more!

I thought I'd drop by and write a thank you in person - we get a lot of referrals from the w7 forums

Thanks Clifford and Guru.

Been using this software since 7 was in early beta and have always recommended it. Already have 2.0 installed and good to go in case I ever need it for my use or to direct others.

Good stuff.

Good to see the boot.ini change. Users would always find issues with their XP and that in dual-boot scenarios.
